Blows my mind that Bioware is so slack about addressing balance issues. Server balance is destroying me. I can't pug at all without a premade stunlocking and wrecking us. I know, join a more active guild yadda yadda yadda.... but how hard would cross/server pvp be? I mean, really? We've lost half our guild BECAUSE of this issue. And it looks like the other half is waxing fast. Whats the point with this nonsense? Can we even GET a response from BW on these issues? I don't play WoW.... but BW might drive me there (or beating my head against the wall for neglecting a good game.)

Yeah. I run sniper for the most part. Can't imagine a group needing me to lead it. Would be a pure disaster, as I find my target and kill it, only looking for another juicy target. Usually don't have much overall awareness. Can only imagine its worse for a marauder/sent.

QFT. This whole post smacks of elitism.

I tank the giant dog in the cave. It's not an unsound strategy because he knocks you all over the map.... Which makes healing worse. And he has the potential to knock you off the ledge and into a couple elite mobs. This will usually cause a wipe on an otherwise cake FP

A bit less common IMO. People at low levels are happy to irritate others, but ignoring tanks and healers at higher levels tends to add tremendously to your time chilling in a queu. It DOES happen but more often than not its negligible.

Can you point me at another class that has a better/similar ability? 20% Healing debuff is enormous. Ask the healers. In fact, it's THIS ability that lets sents burn healers away so fast, where other classes struggle.

Aren't you a little snowflake. Get a life.

Yes. But only because the IA storyline is so much better. Oh, and they're with the sith. Other than that... They are fairly equal. I enjoy sniper gameplay, but can fall into gunslinger and not miss a beat.

I say the same, frequently. I enjoy grouping. I really do... But most groups don't want to wait when the dog has to potty, or work calls, or the better half calls (and you better darn well answer). So I end up soloing, more often than not. It's a lack of ENGAGING solo play that's frustrating.

I'm not even near getting it. But I did preview it on my character. No. It's horrid. Terrible, and so non-jedi it's stupid. I didn't sign up to be a "samurai". This is a Star Wars MMO, not any of a dozen others with Samurai-esque characters. Play one of those.
